Are you being cyber safe?

During Cyber Security Awareness Month in October, make some time to learn a few simple steps to protect yourself online and remember the 2024 theme, 'cyber security is everyone's business'. 

It's also the time of year, leading up to the holiday season, when fraud and scams, including those online are more prevalent.

Focus on simple ways to protect yourself, your family and friends from online threats. These are the top four actions you can take to stay safe online:

• enable multi-factor authentication (MFA)
• use strong passwords or passphrases
• recognise and report phishing
• install software updates whenever available.

For more information on the above, visit the Australian government Cyber Security Awareness Month webpage where you can read about each step to take.

Watch out for more updates we'll be sharing throughout October and remember, cyber security is everyone’s business.
